PLEASE READ ENTIRE THING as I have come too an understanding that NOT everyone reads and understands the type of trip their booking....I invite you to a day of world-class saltwater FLATS FISHING in the Florida Keys and Everglades. I have been on the water my whole life (guiding in the Florida Keys for 20 years) and hope to be the one to make your fishing dreams come true. Whether you're someone who's just starting out or a veteran angler with decades of experience, I will make sure the trip is tailored to your needs.
You'll be fishing aboard an 2024 18ft Hell's Bay Boatworks custom made flats skiff that's powered by a 115hp.Yamaha engine (BOAT IS 18 FEET LONG and theirs pictures in gallery) Its small size makes it great for quietly approaching our shallow water gamefish...I don't use a trolling motor! Instead, I will be using a pushpole too quietly maneuver the skiff through the shallow water...Traditionally the way this fishing is done and STILL the most silent way too sneak up our wary gamefish!
I specialize in trips that include going deep into the Everglades backcountry and shallow water flats after TARPON,BONEFISH,PERMIT,SNOOK and REDFISH. Successfully hooking these fish requires a degree of skill and practice, which is why I will be there to lend a hand if necessary. I can accommodate anglers who prefer fly fishing, as well as those who like to stick with spinning gear.
The price of a trip includes the use of gear such as Penn spinning reels, Loomis, Hardy fly rods, Tibor fly reels, Power Core Custom Rods, Duckett Fishing INC rods, etc. Feel free to bring along some drinks and snacks if you like, and having a pair of sunglasses and some sunscreen is highly recommended.....PLEASE, NO BLACK SOLED SHOES OF ANY KIND!! Leaves black marks on non skid deck and takes forever too clean off..

From all the photos and reviews my dad and I expected to catch something. But instead of not catching anything we didnt even see anything. Now this wasnt the captains fault just seemed to be a odd day for fishing. Captain Randy worked hard to try to get us on some bonefish at the end but as they usually do… they spooked. Theres a level of practice and fishing you need to be at to go on this trip that I hadnt expected. Thanks for trying captain Randy.

Randy was a great captain and teacher! The water and atmosphere was so peaceful and we moved around a lot to locate more fish. My husband was really able to practice fly fishing and caught a baby tarpon - 1st tarpon and on a fly rod! Reccomend Randy for the art and skill of fishing on his trips - had a blast and would go again!
Went out with Randy on a less than optimal day (weather wise) so had to pivot from Bonefishing to targeting snook and redfish. Even those guys weren’t interested so we end up catching about 50-60 (no exaggeration) sea trout. While that wasn’t our goal for keys, Randy made sure we had a good time and were able to catch the only fish that seemed to not be impacted by the weather. Any experienced angler knows you can’t control the weather but having a great guide that’s willing to pivot and make sure you still have a good time, is the guide you want. Randy is that guide, book the trip you won’t be disappointed.
Based on the fishing lunar apps I have, today was gonna be a tough one. So, we knew that going into it. But, the Lunar fishing app does not account for Captain Randy! He was EXTREMELY and very helpful with helping my son and I dial in our fishing skills! We learned a lot! Caught a good variety of fish! And saw A LOT of wildlife we don’t get in Minnesota! Highly recommend fishing with Captain Randy!!! We hope to be back as well! Thank you Captain Randy for an amazing adventure!

Randy was an incredible guide and put me on fish from the get go! Amazingly fun day and boat was immaculate! Would recommend to anyone Randy as a guide! I will be back next year and fish again with Randy!!

It was a slow day of fishing but we did catch some fish. Sight fishing for notoriously spooky fish like bonefish and permit definitely took some time to get used to. The boat was pristinely clean and Captain Randy is a good guy. Seems very knowledgeable and helped us along. I would go fishing with him again.
Tough to catch . Our first time Chasing these little torpedoes. Our captain and guide Randy was a great Teacher . Great instructions and patience . Totally met my expectations and was grateful for such a good teacher. Check him out if you want to improve your fly fishing skills!

Captain Stallings was great. We had a great time. This was the first time we did this type of fishing . We learned allot and the Captain. We will go out with Captain Stallings next time in the area.
Randy was great with inexperienced tarpon fishers. He was patient while we learned how put the bait where the fish were at. He suggested new tactics when things were slow, and seemed spot on with his ideas. Randy truly loves to fish and was happy we got to experience his world. We would highly recommend choosing Captain Randy to experience flats fishing in the Keys.

Highly recommended.. Capt Randy went above and beyond to make sure our 2 day trip was full of action, and adventure. His love for the ecosystem and the Florida Keys is contagious. He will put you on the fish! If you seriously love fishing the flats and backcountry , he's your guy.. Thanks again Randy!!

The ghosts of the flats don't always cooperate - but we found a small school, one cast, and one bonefish in the boat. It has always been a bucket list to catch a bonefish, and now I can say I've done it!
